The Tee’s basic genius advantage

A plain white t-shirt works in any occasion. From weddings, in funerals, when invited to formal dinners. In nearly every working environment to the most alternative what-so-ever-festivals. For example drop the typical suit formal idea – why not wear suit with new or very good navy blue Converse and drop the uncomfortable formal shoes. Under the jacket a brand new or very well ironed without or small as possible logo. However, remember to keep the jacket on at all times if its’ formal dinner or family, because I am sure that you got a few tattoo you’re not so proud of today.

Over the years I have from time to time a stall open at some market somewhere. Amongst them some hand printed and exclusive tees made by Malcolm McLaren cash from chaos . Others signed The who from the early 70’s, the unique messages from The The, Bauhaus, Kraftwerk German editions, Dead Kennedy’s early San Francisco concert tees, and a few well know street art artists and Gallery artistes from NY, London, Tokyo to China. The most valuable tee I got still today is an original RUN-DMC OFFICIAL ADIDAS t-shirt that for some years ago valued by Forbes Magazine €13.000.

The common message is that a tee-shirt has become my closest friend together with a worn out Levi’s 501 jeans. My favourite are the basic white Two Pack Tees from Levi’s. I used to wash and wear them as long as possible until small holes started to appear. Then later I made spray painted one-off as Sonic Youth and the finest for a Fugazi concert in the early 90’s. A stencil and black car paint did the job them.

BEFORE A FUGAZI CONCERT IN A SQUATTED HOUSE WE MADE DIY WORN OUT WHITE TEE HAND-MADE LETTERS AEROSOL BLACK CAR-PAINT

Smelly as HELL AND HIGH ON THINNER MIXED BLACK beer would knock us all out in madhouse of a Fugazi punk concert. Somewhere in a squatted house in Oslo where I only made 10 t-shirts, I kept one myself and I still have it. To make a t-shirt on your own is not difficult but if you like them worn out and punk street wise it takes some effort to do it. Please do not buy those who are ready-made by big chains as they are in bad quality and are not friendly to our environment.

How to make a ripped punk t-shirt

If you buy a few 2 hand or find some old ones in the closet. Your neighbour, the metal head or an old punk friend might give you some worn out, if you promise they get one later on. You can over-print almost anything. I really like the dirty white ones my self. You can beat them up first handed by using warm water and primp stones in a sac or put them in a washing machine use a three or four bags of small stones and wash them together with 10 – 15 t-shirts. Do not add to much washing powder as it does harm to the environment. Make sure use a little water and temperature as low as possible and control the float of water. Be careful with the environment The water from making the t-shirts can be used the flush down the toilets or other activities that must water who does not need to be as clean. A motor engine or a really dirty old car wash. That should do it.
